October Favorites!

4:37 PM

Hey everyone! Today I wanted to share a few of my favorite products from October. I've been loving a new foundation and also discovered a really great combo of brushes that work really well for applying it. Also, who doesn't love Fall nail polishes? ;)

I also decided to record a non-beauty favorites video for this month on my vlog channel frmjen. It's my first non-beauty favorites video so head on over there if you are interested in seeing it! If any of you are into iPhone apps, I included my current obsession in that video as well. ;)

Thank you for the video. I have a couple of questions I wonder if you might have some advice: 1. How do you get face color to long longer? I have combo skin - it's REALLY (peely) dry around the nose, and uber oily T-zone. AND, I am a huge sweater. I sweat a lot even in the cooler weather when I move about. I dislike powder foundation, coz it always looks cakey on me; love the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Enhancer tinted moisturizer but there isn't enough coverage; find using primer and liquid foundation to be un-breathable. I'm in Hong Kong right now, where it's really humid (in comparison to Nor Cal). I've been blending bb cream with Bare Essentuals' Mineral Veil, and found that to give a pretty good matte coverage. But since I'm often blotting off sweat and oil, all the spots where concealer go gets wiped off quickly. Rest of the face is okay. If I re-apply power, dry parts gets flaky-looking; if not, my skin tone is uneven. Such dilemma!
